Alternator connections label

[blackrose]

A plastic label hanging on the cable between the batteries and one of my alternators disintegrated and ended up in the bilges. I've stuck the bits together and I'll cable tie it back on the cable as it seems quite important, but does anyone know what the missing bit would say?

 

I have 2 x 70amp alternators.

I think is means the White cable which is not used on the 70A alternator but is on the 11oA alternator should be insulated and tied back to the loom. White is live (+12v) with the ignition in the run position. Your alternator gets its energised through the indicator lamp on the panel so does not need the live to get energised.

Hope this helps

Ok thanks, but there is no 110a alternator?

Most probably the engine could come with either a 70amp or 110amp alternator dependent on customer order. Would expect 70 amp auxiliary would be standard with the option to upgrade to a 110 amp.

Sorry I didn't make it clear. According to the wiring diagram you can opt for a 70A or 110A Alternator when ordering. The wiring loom can cope with either.
